Projects / Poly
Poly is an interior pavilion commissioned by Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation, following an invited competition process. Individual shelters can be moved around the space, allowing visitors to shape their environment in collaboration with others. Conceived as a collective pavilion, it is both one and many.
Project Story
The pavilion is made up of a series of protective yet outward-looking hooded structures that can each be moved to create an ever-changing social formation for various events and activities.
Each structure was CNC milled from waste architectural cladding material, giving it a new life. The structures were shipped flat pack to the gallery and assembled on-site.
Poly demonstrates the potential of digital prefabrication to efficiently produce many structures from a single material stockpile, using a single machine.
Completed in 2014 by Tomahawk // Archer Breakspear.
